Located in Haiyan County, Jiaxing, the two-storied building covers an area of 450m2. Christened “Farewell, Lass”, it is positioned as a coffee space for women, and manifested in the design through the element of curves chosen by the architect after a longtime consideration.

On the façade is painted the theme color—purplish blue.
每个姑娘,都曾经有过清甜的少女时代,历经岁月与磨砺,「让他们脱下了白裙子,穿上了铠甲。告别了婴儿肥,涂起了大红唇」。品牌想赋予女性独特气质并忠于自己的灵魂。并希望空间能够展现出一个姑娘的成长与蜕变,从而与过去告别,迎接更好的自己。
Every woman grows out of the sweet girlhood over the years. Off they take their white skirts, say goodbye to baby fat, and don armours with shocking red lips. The brand is designed to endow women with idiosyncrasies while staying loyal to their soul, and the corresponding space is intended to reflect how a girl metamorphoses to be a better self.

The patio linking the two storeys enlivens the space and adds a touch of fun.
▼线性的理性与感性的空间The special logic and sensibilities




On the first floor, an enclosed courtyard is created with linear partitions. The space, which is at once isolated and linked, is imbued with a sense of community, and the functioning borders trigger a sense of belonging.
雕塑感极强的白色旋转楼梯是空间的灵魂,安静、独立 的置于一层中庭。「静如处子,动若脱兔」是建筑师想赋予该空间的性格。运用线性的灯光以及地面黑白棋盘格地砖的组合,来实现空间感性与理性的融合。
Standing in the middle is the white spiral staircase. Identified with a sculpture, it’s serene and independent, constituting the soul of this space. The architectural concept can be best explained through a Chinese saying: demure as a maiden and quick like an escaping rabbit.
Linear light and the checkered floor in black and white jointly provide the special logic and sensibilities.










The kaleidoscope of light and shade in days and nights is made possible by the combination of artificial and natural lights, which, filtered through the blind, flow in tempo with the change of time.
